This chart indicates the percentage of available Constructors Championship points won annually for each of the teams displayed, demonstrating how the fortunes of some of the most important F1 teams have waxed and waned. Annual performance of each team is measured by the vertical thickness of the bar. Cheers.

Note: Milton Keyes = (Stewart, Jaguar, & Red Bull); Brackley = (BAR, Honda, Brawn, & Mercedes); Enstone = (Toleman, Benetton, Renault, & Lotus).

 

I reinstated Mclaren's 2007 points. I did this for 2 reasons: first, it would have skewed the data since Mclaren's finishing positions weren't wiped from the record the way Tyrrell's were in 1984, bumping lower teams up the finishing order; and second, the FIA didn't strip Mclaren's drivers of their points, which suggested the disqualification was due to politics rather than cheating in a manner than made the championships objectionably unfair. We've discussed the issue of reinstating Tyrrell in a similar thread a year or two ago. So far I haven't done it, but at some point it's still a possibility, I suppose.

 

I'm also open to considering adding another team (perhaps Jordan-Midland-Spyker-Force India or Sauber/BMW Sauber), although the chart is getting crowded.

And if some kindly moderator could fix the image or PM me with instructions, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Link to the graph (for the life of me, I can't figure out how to post the image with an acceptable link and format for this forum--sorry!)

Nustang70, after the help you've had from the posters here, is everything okay with your image? PM me for help if not.

Very interesting graph, indeed. It shows the dominant forces being Ferrari (50s), Lotus (60s), Tyrrell, McLaren, Ferrari (70s), Williams, McLaren (80s), Williams, Enstone, McLaren (90s), Ferrari, Enstone, Milton Keynes (00s-10s), and Brackley (10s), respectively.

Yeah. The graph speaks volumes. For instance:

 

-Lotus' modest comeback in the mid-80s

-The Enstone team's three periods of success under different names (the Benetton years, the Renault years, and the Lotus years)

-Williams recent success after a long period of lean years

-Mclaren's long streak of competitiveness after Ron Dennis took over (until this year, anyway)

-Ferrari's unparalleled streak of competitiveness--they've never settled into a multiyear slump with very few points

-The long, scrappy runs of Tyrrell and Ligier/Prost
